Please, Don't Waste Your Money on the New iPhones

"It is amusing that today's announcements may prompt many people to think that Apple invented wireless charging, even though the technology was first debuted on smartphones by Palm in 2009 and Nokia, LG, Samsung and others have supported it for years", said Geoff Blaber, analyst at CCS Insight. Belkin is probably not alone in offering iPhone-specific chargers, and like we said since the new iPhones rely on the Qi standard, if you have a Qi wireless charger at home you should not have any issues using it. The company has been a goldmine for its ecosystem, not least with the use of proprietary ports and the elimination of the headphone jack, and wireless charging represents another opportunity to sell more stuff. For iPhone X specifically, iOS 11 will introduce 12 Animojis, which let you send moveable emojis that match your facial expressions.

We just hope that the USB-C charger prices go down when Apple franchises these accessories to a third-party vendor for large-scale production. Enjoyed by millions of consumers worldwide, Powermat's technology is the platform of choice for such global leaders as Starbucks, Samsung, General Motors and Flex. The new feature coming with the iPhone X will only allow a single person per device.

After much anticipation, Apple finally announced its latest models earlier this week: the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X. Among the Apple charger that support fast charging in the company's new iPhones, the cheapest one is the 29W charger that will costs around Rs 5,500 in India.

There are now a few smartphones on the market with tiny bezels

Apple's iPhone 8, which has a 4.7-inch LCD screen, starts at $699, while the iPhone 8 Plus, which has a 5.5-inch LCD screen, starts at $799. Fast charging requires a USB-C to Lightning cable and the USB-C wall charger. This year, Apple is essentially giving offical accessory status to two wireless chargers since you'll need to wait until 2018 to get the Appel exclusive wireless charger for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X. "The pads still need to be connected to an outlet".

Yet none of this is revolutionary. "If you haven't upgraded in awhile, it'll be an improvement for you at a fraction of the cost". This not only makes your photos look like they were taken with a £1,000 DSLR camera, but digitally tweaks the lighting to make the images even more flattering.

OPPO devices can be 75 percent charged in less than half an hour, a more useful trait than wireless charging. And in this age, what can do that better than a great portrait pic?
